Read more about situations in which using a Dog Crate is a real plus.
Toilet Training
Instinctively, dogs will want to keep their food and sleeping space separate from their potty area. The dog will use its instincts by using a crate for sleeping, which means that, after the toilet training is complete, they are unlikely to have any accidents and only do their business in outside or in their designated area.
Crate Training for Travel
Getting your dog used to a kennel is a good thing. it makes trips to the vet and groomer less stressful because they are used to being crated. Some states require dogs to be restrained when transporting them to prevent driver distraction, even if you are just driving to the dog park. It’s also great to have a crate trained dog when traveling on road trips or if the dog gets to fly with you on vacation!
Security
Once your dog is successfully crate trained, the kennel will become their safe, cozy spot that is all their own. This provides a relaxing place for your dog to go when stressful situations arise - visitors and their pets, vacuum cleaners, storms, fireworks and sirens can all trigger stress in your dog.
Injury or Sickness
The calm, safe crate can help a dog who is sick or injured recover much faster. Your vet may instruct you to keep your dog quiet and confined after surgery, if a splint is needed, or while recovering from an illness.
Boosting Confidence
It is important for your pets to know that they have time apart from the other dogs and/or people in their pack. By spending time for each dog in a crate to play with his favorite toy or getiing special treatment, they will know that being alone is just as fun as being in the packs with their other dogs or people.
Since dogs are highly social animals, your dog must feel he is a part of the family and lives in the home even if his family may not be present. You can get luxury dog kennels for them to feel like a little piece of your home really belongs to them.
